I could use WebEx under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 x64 on 2010-12-14 with Firefox 3.6.12 and [[Java]] 1.6.0. Later on, after I applied the latest updates, I had to downgrade java to sr8. Here is all I did:
 
 
 
* [[open a console]]
 
* install java 1.6:
 
yast -i java-1_6_0-ibm
 
* downgrade java to sr8 as to be seen in the screenshot below:
 
 
 
[[File:Snapshot-java.png|250px]]
 
 
 
* install the java plugin
 
<ul>
 
<li> for every user (in this case ''root'')
 
<ul>
 
<li> make sure the Mozilla plugin directory exists:</li>
 
mkdir -p /''root''/.mozilla/plugins
 
<li>link the plugin from java to mozilla: </li>
 
</li>
 
ln -s /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1_6_0-ibm-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /''root''/.mozilla/plugins/
 
</ul>
 
</ul>
 
* restart your firefox twice
 
* test if it works by surfing to about:plugins

WebEx allows you to control a computer's desktop over the network, even using proxies through firewalls. There is a possibility to use a free trial: http://www.webex.com.

Set it up

The first start of WebEx fails but I find a folder .webex in my home folder and it shows which dependencies are not met:

tweedleburg:~/.webex/1224 # ldd *.so | grep "not found"
        libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
        libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
        libatk-1.0.so.0 => not found
        libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => not found
        [...]

Ok, so I install all missing packages, in this example for SUSE:

yast -i libgtk-2_0-0-32bit libpangox-1_0-0-32bit libXmu-devel-32bit libpng12-0-32bit libXv-devel-32bit

With the exception of jawt that I cannot find:

tweedleburg:~/.webex/1224 # ldd *.so | grep "not found"
        libjawt.so => not found
        libjawt.so => not found

and it works :)

old stuff

Thank you for another worfundel post. The place else may just anybody get that kind of information in such an ideal means of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m on the search for such information.

SUSE Linux 11.4

You will have to uninstall icedtea-web and install Sun's Java plugin.

Debian

ln -s /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

generic

  • find out what your jre directory is. In its lib/amd64 path you will find libnpjp2.so
  • find out what your mozilla plugin directory is
  • Link libnpjp2.so to from the one directory to the other
  • Verify this has worked by surfing to about:plugins
